Kind of a rambling post but one thing that bugged me about this game was that the character classes seemed predetermined for certain characters. In most of my games and session reports I have seen here on BGG people always pick the same characters with the same class (ex. Thomble is a theif, Jain is the windwalker, the dwarf is the berserker, Widow is the necromancer, ect)It also seems as if the next expansion will follow that trend. Now I get it, their special abilities and feats go along with their skills, also I mean Syndreal is holding a sword not an axe and Thomble has knives not a freaking bow on his sculpt.
But it seems to bother me a lot less now. I like that people have the option to pick another class if they want but I'm starting to view it as those skills are just meant for that character. Granted, it means character customization is limited but you can still choose what skills to get and when. Damnit, Thomble is a theif, not a windwalker! And Ashrain has a staff, not a mace and a sheild.
So what do others think? i have just accepted it as those are just Ashrain's skills and you can choose how to get them.
Sorry for the rant, but I feel better. Does this bother anyone else, or am I just neurotic?
